Library Kit - Exploring STEM with Toddlers

Item# 109203

Create an engaging space for toddlers to explore STEM concepts while playing with ramps. This comprehensive collection of ramps, balls, cars, and building blocks offer your community's youngest engineers countless opportunities to experience force and motion, cause and effect, gravity, and many other STEM concepts. Spark problem-solving, collaboration, and language development with this environment especially designed for libraries.

Simple prompt cards are easily displayed to invite parents and caregivers to engage their children in learning experiences during play. Open-ended questions and related vocabulary encourage the caregiver to take a hands-on approach to support their child’s pre-literacy, STEM, and 21st century skills.

Facilitator SupportEach set of materials includes a Facilitator Guide to support library staff in fostering the engagement of children and their caregivers through open-ended play experiences. Easily accessible language, invitations, and content ensures that the facilitator understands the learning opportunities and how to engage both child and caregiver in skill building through play.
